Training, Consulting & Speaking Resources

If you're looking for creative capacity development training, consulting or speaking services that will provide strategies for your leaders and structure for your team, then this will definitely interest you.

Based on 20 years of experience, the best way for organizations to develop high-performing creative teams is through project-based discovery. Working together, building the system that will support the strategies that empower your team to tell your story.

The Journey of Discovery is an opportunity to see yourself and your organization with new eyes and invest in the wealth of creative capital that you have.

You connect with your audience in a way that is unique. You tease all our senses and leave the desire to open the floodgates of our own creativity

Your presentation was invaluable, you encouraged us to imagine, create and persevere

It is one thing to follow the curriculum. It is another to teach its worth in our lives, and you did just that! Gretchan Day, Heart Lake Secondary, Brampton, ON

The Most Valuable Investment You Can Make

The average organization forfeits over $1 million per year in untapped potential. Imagine the difference it would make if your team became 10%, 20% or 50% more creative, more engaged, more empowered.

Our training sessions will help your team see their Creative Capital with new eyes, and discover how they can bring their abilities, talents, training, schooling and experiences together to create solutions to the problems YOU need to solve.

Creative Capital is the most valuable resource your organization has. How much are you leaving on the table...and how much is that costing you?

The Return on Your Investment

What we think is normal, other people find amazing. When we don't recognize the value of our strengths and understand how our piece fits with those around us, we end up feeling insecure, fearful and defensive and that creates a culture that inhibits creativity and innovation.

But when we see the value of our strengths and the unique role we're able to play, we discover our weaknesses provide opportunities to collaborate with other team members gifted differently.

This increases team connectedness and improves morale. It opens doors to creative problem solving, conflict resolution and resiliency. This allows your team to work together more effectively, translate data and research to tell a better brand story and create a more meaningful experience for your clients.

Learn To Serve The Story

When we identify the role we are ideally suited for, we also discover how our weaknesses provide opportunities to work with team members gifted differently. It’s not a competition but an opportunity to work together to tell a story.

Encourages Exploration

Multi media project-based learning requires each team member to explore their unique talents, gifts and abilities and discover how their piece fits with the greater story being told

Building A Creative Culture

These projects provide an opportunity to learn from one another and recognize how diversity is a strength that allows us to create something bigger and better than any of us could on our own

Unique Challenges of Leading Creative Teams

Professional Development Opportunities For Your Leadership Team

Developing dynamic teams and a supportive creative culture is challenging for those in leadership. How can you lead a high-performing creative team if you've never been part of one?That's why I'm a strong advocate for Peer-to-Peer Mentorship

I've spent the last 20 years working at the highest levels of creative collaboration on TV shows, film sets and music studios. I've worked with governments, NGOs, researchers, educators, television networks and for some of the biggest touring acts in the world. I've drawn on the lessons learned from these experiences to create world-class training sessions and speaking seminars for leaders.

As a leader, I want you to be inspired, empowered and engaged to lead your team!

The event far exceeded our expectations and hopes, and the feedback we have received has been uniformly glowing. Maura Broadhurst, Curator Latcham Gallery, Stouffville, ON

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. Marcel Proust

I would love to have the opportunity to invest in your team and help you find the solutions to the problems you're facing right now.
